CHECK SKEW

 

Description: This function allows the user to check any skew in the plate or solid elements.

 

Usage: 

 

1.      DSI prompts:

>     ENTER SKEW CRITERIA (DEGREE)

•      A valid response is any real number greater than zero.

•       If the skew of the elements is less than the user-defined criteria, then DSI echoes the message:

>      ALL ELEMENTS PASS CHECK!

     The user returns to the MODEL CHECKER menu.

•       If the skew of some elements is greater than the user-defined criteria, then DSI echoes one of the following messages:

>      ELEMENT xxxx FAILED CHECK or

>      xxxx ELEMENTS FAILED CHECK

                       

         2.     If failed elements exist, then DSI prompts the user to place them into a part:

               >    INCLUDE FAILED ELEMENTS IN A NEW PART? (Y/N)

               ?    YES

  The PART DEFINITION window pops up.

  •     The failed elements are removed from the original parts and added to the NEW PART.

  •     The new part is ON and CURRENT

     NO
